Keane admits to consulting leading sports psychologist

ROY KEANE has admitted consulting England’s sports psychologist Bill Beswick, but insists he has no intention of making a similar appointment at Sunderland.

Keane has revealed he spoke to Beswick, England head coach Steve McClaren’s long-time guru, when they were together at Manchester United and also talked with him after taking the Sunderland job.

The Black Cats’ manager maintains he is “open-minded’ about the value of sports psychology, which he first encountered when former United assistant boss McClaren introduced Beswick to Old Trafford.
